With brilliant colors, Abeoth frogs can be virtually any hue, but generally change only several times during the day. Usually based on the color of the sun, they are most often red, yellow, green or blue. Unlike most amphibians, they are highly intelligent and care for their young for many months. In The Keep's gardens, a magi can sometimes spot one of these frogs, if they look closely. Clinging to a brightly colored leaf, a frog will match the bright petals perfectly, and fade to a dark green as it continues on its way down a leaf. Small enough to fit in a magi's hand, they enjoy traveling to warm climates, happily clinging to a shoulder. During classes, a little Abeoth frog can be seen peeking from at least one student's robes, turning the same color as the garment in hope of not being detected.

With the ability to change color at will, these small amphibians are almost impossible to spot in their natural environment. Depending on the time of the day, they shift through different bright colors to ward off predators and camouflage themselves. When threatened in the wild, they can secrete a powerful poison, and most creatures know not to approach them. Their toxins are powerful ingredients in potions, and are almost completely undetectable. A small vial of this venom will make a hefty price in any city, although magi have ruled it unethical to sell. Handled by its magi, such a creature will never release its poison unintentionally; it has complete control over the magical liquid. When raised in The Keep, Abeoth frogs make useful companions, changing their color to explore dangerous places undetected, or even spying on an enemy.
